If you'd like the ref mut here can all be dropped actually

It's ok to omit this line now that the one above is unconditionally executed.

If you're feeling ambitious one possibility here is to do something like:

struct Trap { reason: TrapReason, backtrace: Option<Backtrace> }

enum TrapReason {
    User(Error),
    Jit(usize),
    Code(TrapCode),
    Oom,
}

enum UnwindReason {
    Panic(Box<dyn Any>),
    Trap(TrapReason),
}

... hm I'm thinking about this and I'd ideally like to use this to prevent the double capture problem I described below. In any case this is fine to defer to a future PR. My rough thinking is that we would replace raise_{lib,user}_trap with simply raise_trap which takes a Trap and conversion from Error or wasmtime::Trap would appropriately create a wasmtime_runtime::Trap which is configured to not capture a backtrace if one is already contained (or something like that). It still involves a lot of converting back and forth between the wasmtime crate and the wasmtime_runtime crate though which is also something I'd like to avoid so this is an underbaked idea.

I think it's ok to omit this because because backtraces are necessary on reference types only for gc purposes, but that's unconditionally enabled at runtime.

One thing this'll need to do though is that when enabling unwind information in cranelift it should be done either when reference types are enabled or when wasm backtraces are requested.

I think this could probably use try_insert instead to avoid checking the flag twice?

Otherwise we talked a bit about this yesterday and the main reason I wanted this to be an assert originally is that this otherwise means we're spending the time to capture a backtrace which otherwise gets discarded so we ideally wouldn't capture the backtrace in the first place. The use case for this though is pretty niche (and it definitely makes sense given the docs here why this is necessary), so I think it's best to leave something like that to a future refactoring.

Could this add a FIXME though with an issue to avoid capturing the second backtrace here if we already have one?

I think technically this isn't quite right because capturing a backtrace on trap is still independently controlled from this setting, but this does enable unwinding information to get compiled within a module.

You know as I type this out if wasm backtraces are disabled we should probably conditionally define unwinding information in a module depending on whether it actually uses reference types or not.
